Mobility.

Over the past week and a half I have figured out something monumental. I no longer have to stay in one spot. I can move across the floor of my own volition!

This means I can crawl across the room, lick the walls, harass Twizzle,

stick my fingers in those electrical outlets and pull over music stands while trapped inside Oboe gig bags.

Watch out world! Secure your valuables and breakables and prepare to rescue me from all sorts of predicaments! I am a crawling baby!

Ice and Skating.

I got to do something very special this morning. I went ice skating with dad for the first time!

The penguin on my shirt is also skating.

I actually skated for real. In socks.

We even did a press lift! Mom wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I thought she would be.

On the way home I heard the story of how that was the rink where mom and dad met. Sounds both romantic and cold, but I love that story now.

A Tooth.

The week leading up to my six month birthday, I had this pain in my mouth. It made me drool a lot and bite everything. Then, on the morning of my six month birthday, mom yelped when I chomped down on her finger. Apparently I had sprouted something in my gums called a tooth.

I have a tooth but I refuse to let mom photgraph it.

I was really happy to finally be over the whole painful ordeal and long sleepless nights.

Painful gums were getting in the way of my beauty rest.

Then I realized it was only the first of many. Sigh.

Wait. Humans have how many teeth?

So stay tuned. I think I feel another tooth sprouting in my poor helpless gums.
